More specifically, is it measured with the engine running, and in what gear position?

There's no need to check it. The trans dipstick is sealed and should only be opened by a dealer who can re-seal it after servicing the trans.

The automatic transmissions with no dipstick are supposed to be using a lifetime AT Fluid. Most of the transmissions still have a drain plug and filler plug. These are to use when the mileage crosses 100,000 miles, (MBz AT life expectancy is 100 Kmiles.) The permanent AT Fluid should be replaced at or near the 100 K. mileage point. In order to refill the trans, after draining the fluid, you will need to elevate the car, level the car, and refill the transmission via hand pump with permanent (lifetime) AT Fluid to the point where fluid just starts to flow out of the filler plug hole.
Oil temperature of new ATF should be within 20 deg. F. of the slightly warmed, (engine not running), 120 deg. F. transmission in order to get the exact ATF refill quantity. Replace plugs and check for leaks and oil wetness. Correct where necessary.

Twangerb7 has the correct answer if your E220 has a dipstick, which it probably has. The dipstick will be located to the rear of the motor, probably just on the left as you face the car. It will be screwed in. Clean off the top of the stick and tube with a rag before opening it.
Why do most answers users assume that everything is in the USA?

the computerized transmission fluid element is diverse than oil, you DO favor to envision it with the engine operating, and the trans in park (impartial for some automobiles). EDIT: each person telling you to envision ATF element with the engine off has no idea what the **** they're speaking about. the computerized transmission has its own fluid pump that has to fill the torque converter earlier an precise fluid element might want to be considered.

Mercedes-Benz does not build a E220 I think you mean E320 or C220. Depending on the year there is probably no dip stick in the car, If your transmission is not working properly you will have to see the dealer, or if there is a Aamco transmission shop near you they are very good and I'm sure much more reasonable than the Benz dealer. They also back their work with a guarantee. Good luck, and all my best.

mercedes are very well build cars, they have a sealed transmission so there is no dip stick. there is no need to check the fluid unless you see oil spots where you park or if you feel the transmission is not working properly.when that happens I recommend you take it to the dealer.
